Psychological coping strategies influence blood pressure (BP). Resignation coping lowered BP in both sexes, while emotional coping and seeking external support showed sex-specific associations with BP levels.

Area of Science:

  • Psychology and Cardiovascular Health
  • Behavioral Medicine
  • Epidemiology

Background:

  • Psychological coping strategies are recognized as potential modulators of physiological responses.
  • Understanding the link between coping mechanisms and blood pressure (BP) is crucial for cardiovascular health.
  • Previous research has explored various factors influencing BP, but the specific role of diverse coping strategies requires further elucidation.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the association between different psychological coping strategies and blood pressure (BP) levels.
  • To examine potential sex differences in the relationship between coping strategies and BP.
  • To explore how demographic factors like education interact with coping strategies and BP.

Main Methods:

  • A cross-sectional analysis was conducted on 158 Southern Italian adults (aged 20-59) from a coronary heart disease risk factor study.
  • Coping strategies were assessed using the self-administered Jalowiec Coping Scale, comprising 40 strategies.
  • Factor analysis identified five distinct coping strategy profiles, and statistical adjustments were made for age, alcohol, BMI, education, and smoking.

    • Main Results:

    • Increased use of resignation coping was associated with lower BP in both men and women.
    • Emotional coping was inversely related to BP in males only.
    • Seeking external support was linked to higher BP exclusively in males, while females generally sought more external support than males.

    Conclusions:

    • Psychological coping modalities demonstrate a relationship with blood pressure.
    • Specific coping strategies, such as resignation and emotional coping, exhibit sex-specific associations with BP.
    • These findings suggest that psychological factors play a role in blood pressure regulation, with potential implications for cardiovascular health interventions.
